Guido Bruzzesi

Guido Bruzzesi graduated as an art teacher in Macerata and began his artistic activity in 1957, participating in numerous group exhibitions in Italy, Romania, Taiwan and Columbia in Bogotà. He is invited among the Italian personalities for the celebration of the 85th anniversary of Juan Mirò in Spain, at the Monza Biennale and at the editions of the Arte Expo in Brescia. After graduating he spent several years in Rome, together with his brother Carlo, Dante Ferretti, Sirio Reali, Renato Mercuri, Giorgio Massetani. At the same time as his artistic activity he taught restoration at the Academy of Fine Arts in Macerata. His works appear in numerous private and public collections.

Guido Bruzzesi recovers the gesture, giving it a historical and formative value of artistic conscience. As underlined by critics, his action falls within the conceptual season “he does not want to anachronistically re-propose the technical exercise, the artisan practice, but rather his design process, which links the fresco to the planning of a renewed architecture, an expression of a real summa of the arts”. He intended to use painting to create and create an ideal filing cabinet within which to preserve the values ​​of the artistic history of the past and a composite vision of personal resources and aspirations to keep in mind: a belief to draw on and on which to “measure” one’s action . A figural agglomeration representing one’s linguistic and formal beliefs, as well as internal faith, is connected to this “program”. The sky is chosen by Guido Bruzzesi as a permanent metaphor of his criterion of understanding; not a genre, not an image within which to found one’s own style, but a field of observation and screen of unusual extension and refraction; as well as a tool of linguistic mediation between image and non-image, a symbol of a nature that should remain uncontaminated, of a freedom to aspire to, outside the burdens and constraints of a dehumanizing technological civilization. Finally, a place of immeasurable perspectives, of absolute and non-perishable beauty and perfection: the absolute. This all-encompassing, substantially romantic vision of art and living is preserved in Guido Bruzzesi’s works.
